Stopped at Mother’s – She’s excited too about inaugeration & hostages. They arrived in Wiesbaden at 2 AM our time. Neither mother or Howard could understand why “yellow ribbons” were tied on trees. I explained about the song. “If you want me back, Tie a Yellow Ribbon”
Ask Faye if she would like to do buying for silk Dept. Seemed delighted. Had staff meeting to explain Employees Handbook. Not too much comment. Changing to 15th & end of month pay period. Must take vacation by the week. Not a day here & there.
Supper at Pancake House.
Kathi called – needed someone to talk to. She sounds like the breaking point. Had a bad headache.
Rereading Edwin Way Teale’s “A Naturalists Buys and Old Farm”. He died recently. Feel like I lost a friend.
